description: Add the Google Container Registry to Coder.

Google Container Registry (GCR) uses different authorization methods, unlike

the generic `registry:2` image that requires a username and password. This

article will show you how to add GCR to Coder using a `_json_key` file.

Create a `_json_key` file with your authorization information:

1. In the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/), configure a

service account for access to the GCR registry holding your images for use

with Coder.

1. Create a [JSON key

file](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/advanced-authentication#json-key).

Add your private GCR registry during the process of [adding

images](../../images/index.md). To import an image:

1. Go to **Images** > **Import Image** in the upper-right.

1. In the dialog that opens, you'll be prompted to pick a registry by default.

However, to _add_ a registry, click **Add a new registry**, which is the

option located immediately below the registry selector.

1. You'll be asked to provide a **registry name** and the **registry**.

1. Since your registry is a **private registry**, provide the `_json_key` string

for the **username** and the file's contents for **password**.

1. Continue with the process of [adding your image](../../images/index.md).

1. When done, click **Import**.
